Hi!
First grow, PF cakes, SGFC...
I'm close to ready to spawn - some jars are noticeably closer to ready than others.
Can/should I spawn them as they're ready - one at a time style - or wait to spawn the whole group at once?

doesn't really matter. Fruiting them all at once would allow you to harvest them all at once. But if you are using Multispore it won't matter anyway....

I dont know what you mean by 'multispore'...(edit: searched, found)
Would it be better to add new cakes to the middle or the outside of the existing group?

Multispore means you used a spore syringe and the genetics will be all over the place.
Cluster the cakes together, they help each other retain moisture. For that reason it will be best to birth them all at once or the lone first cakes will be drying out very fast.

I have one that's definitely a go getter. I'll aim for clusters, but how long can they sit in the jar after colonization? I figure I'd rather spawn it alone than smother it...if thats a thing.

It's not a thing, the time they spend inside the jars, they are digesting the nutrients in the cake for use during fruiting. Consolidation is a good thing.

Oh...and I suppose I should've titled this thread "Spawning"...
Good thing you guys are cool. On other forums they burn people alive for forgetting a comma and I used an entire wrong word!

The only thing you really get burned alive for here is chastising people for actual advancements while living in the past, and bad attitudes. And not hardened cynical attitudes, like yours truly, but shitty entitled unwilling to learn type attitudes. People who can't be wrong do not belong here.
Well, and giving people bad advice. That will draw the crowd down hard. Most of the best cultivators here have some really terrible grammar, nobody gives a shit about that. Ironic misspellings and calling people stupid only to go on to misspell simple words are always fair game though.

These were my first posts, but I've been reading a lot of this stuff. Helpful, friendly people all over the place!
Psychedelics for all, if you ask me.

Spawning or birthing?
*****EDIT: I missed the first two lines of your post about PF and SGFC*****
Birthing:
If you're fruiting them PF Tek style DO NOT birth them early!! Birth them as they're ready. If they havent colonized 100% and consolidated for a week they are NOT ready.. 
In the case that you did birth them early you would have to remove the uncolonized verm and BRF because it will then be a major risk for contamination. Also, BRF cakes do very well in a SGFC which I'd assume you'll be using as your FC if it's your first time.. and if you aren't you should be. There's no reason to birth early. Just pop them out as they come along and place them in the SGFC.
Spawning:
If you're spawning to bulk I'd still say wait until they are 100% In this situation I'd assume you would want as much spawn as you can get so you wouldn't want to birth them early and risk contaminates or have to toss the uncolonized parts in the trash.
Correct me if I'm wrong here Trusted Cultivators. (But please don't be harsh.)
But last time I checked that info should be spot on. I have NEVER heard of it being a good idea to birth or spawn early..

Yeah. I edited a note in there. I somehow missed that part at the top.
Not ready generally means not fully colonized. If that's correct in this case then I would not birth early.

I think the longer you wait the better fully colonization is a pin trigger too
